Jewel-bright tones of violet, golden-yellow, and pure white bedazzle on these merry whiskered blooms. Penny™ Jump-Up Mix is a splendid selection of the best violas for harsh spring and fall weather. They may be tiny, but they're tough.
Whether your garden is plagued by March rainstorms, late spring frosts, or early winter weather, Penny™ Jump-Up is the viola you need to keep the sunny to partly shaded bed (not to mention your best containers) bright and cheery. The blooms measure about 1½ inches wide, suffused with rich color and strikingly whiskered in pencil strokes of black. Very handsome, and determined to bloom through all of Nature's chaos.
This plant reaches 4 to 6 inches high and wide, with densely mounded foliage and flowers. Even a small planting is impressive, but a large one is showstopping. And it's the perfect filler plant to tuck into combination planters. If you like this mix, you'll also enjoy the trailing form.
